Parking Permits Will Be Available Online Beginning July 20.
|
Parking permits for the next academic year (2026-2027) will be available online beginning July 20, 2026. Parking permits are virtual, so you will not receive a physical permit. Your license plate will act as your parking permit.
The Customer Parking Portal provides convenient access to your parking account information. You can view your account, purchase a parking permit, make a ticket payment and update vehicle information.
A free parking option is also available. Those who register for this option will have a virtual green permit, which allows for remote parking in Lot K only, located on the west side of campus, just off Lincoln Highway.
For those needing temporary parking, there are short-term parking options available. Short-term permits can be purchased online, and options include daily, weekly and monthly permits. Short-term parking is also available via the AMP Park mobile app.
You can visit our website for additional information. If you have any questions, please contact Parking Services at 815-753-1045 or parking@niu.edu.

What strategies do you use to manage your time between the responsibilities of school, work, friends and family?
|
I write a to-do list. That way, I have five goals I can complete in a day rather than trying to go off memory and getting nothing done. For example, when it comes to friends and family, I will inform them that I am busy if I'm overwhelmed, but overall, they can contact me. For work, I will just go in and communicate if I'm sick or busy.
